Contemporary people are more and more conditioned by the innovation rate in media, with one advance rapidly following another. To cope with this rapid change it is important to stop and take time to think about the relationships between electronic media and our psyche. The contemporary artist, far from being the Artist with a capital A so hyped in previous centuries, now must constantly try to analyze the impact of the new media on the human sensibility, and explain it to those who do not understand it. In the future, artists may even disappear because everyone may be able, in various ways and to various degrees, to perform this analysis autonomously.

Antonio Saccoccio, born in Roma in 1974, is the founder of Net.Futurismo. He is a composer, a writer, and a designer-producer of multimedia performances and net.art. A student of Futurist history (Marinetti, Papini, Boccioni, Russolo), he participated in 2009-10 in several events dedicated to the first centenary of the Futurist Manifesto, in Italy and abroad (Roma, Cagliari, Madrid, Torino, Bremen, etc.). His fields of study are the relations between new media and human sensibilities, the dissolution of traditional Art in diffuse, evolved forms of thought and creativity, the new cognitive paradigm and its impact on the education of new generations. Since 2010 he coordinates the Laboratory of Art and Comunication (LAC) of AIT.
